Chronic
Crit
In this mystery, we know from the first two scenes that David (Tim Roth) is broken, and we think we know why; our guess is accurate, but fathoms incomplete. That incompleteness begins to impress itself on us as we see how David's brokenness manifests itself: in loving, consuming care to one terminally ill person after another.
When I left the theater Friday, I wouldn't have thought I could feel kicked harder in the gut by another movie on the weekend, but I was mistaken. A hard-edged gem by writer-director Michael Franco, and a searing performance by Roth.
